Here is our first take on recent events at a glance, in a new, flexible format. This alpha edition covers milestones from our work this past year - what better time to reflect than now, as 2009 draws to a close? We are sending this out as an update to our past supporters as well.
If you want to share this, or read it on a mobile device, you may find it easier to view it on laptop.org. Enjoy these flashbacks, and have a Happy New Year!

Ray Simons (not verified) says: I donated an XO-1 and my great grandson still has a working XO-1 to learn and work on. January 1, 2010 at 1 pm

Ray Simons (not verified) says: As an 88 year old the looks and functionality of the XO-3 has great appeal. I would like
to have one for myself as a semi-geek. Rush it on! January 1, 2010 at 1 pm

carl (not verified) says: Hello,
I have donated 2 and owned 2 from the olpc program.
I have been waiting for a windows program for the olpc.
Can you please email me of an update or how I can port a
windows version to my olpc. January 1, 2010 at 9 pm

Robert Swann (not verified) says: I would like to point out that your XO-3 whilst looking like a fantastic design, is just not practical for use by children. Particularly those in developing countries who it is aimed at. January 7, 2010 at 9 am

Robert Swann (not verified) says: A completely exposed screen will get damaged within hours of the machine being first used. When on the move children will not be concentrating on the PC and it is liable to get knocked around, and an exposed screen will get scratched or smashed. Storage will also be a problem.

Robert Swann (not verified) says: The thickness of the machine will also be an issue, something very thin is more likely to break than something thick. January 7, 2010 at 9 am

Robert Swann (not verified) says: Your mock up looks like it would be useful for an adult in a developed country, but certainly not for a child in a developing one. Your current model, (although I have not physically seen one), is sturdy, rugged and practical, and I suggest you concentrate on developing that. January 7, 2010 at 9 am

gene mulligan (not verified) says: I donated a unit and got a v 1. It had several problems are there any software updates avail? January 11, 2010 at 9 pm

howy61 (not verified) says: Still think you are missing a valuable opportunity to leverage the technology and help underwite the costs for the educational version. Create an International Orange version for first responders and emergencies. Partner with Google or MS to create a registry for people to find and contact survisors. January 14, 2010 at 5 pm

howy61 (not verified) says: This would have made a world of difference after Huricane Katrina, Banda Ache Tsunami, and now the Haiti earthquake. January 14, 2010 at 5 pm

sj (not verified) says: Gene - thank you for your support. You can find a comprehensive software update here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Upgrading_to_8.2
The latest software is quite an improvement. January 20, 2010 at 3 pm
